SEND WIDE

In this drill, the defenders are asked to press the player with the ball forcing him to go wide. This kind of pressure simulates a game situation where defenders press the players attacking their wing.

In a small field with 2 teams each side, the players start the run on the whistle to the other side pole. They turn and the coach sends the ball. The one who gets the ball first is the one in possession while the other applies the pressuer trying to send him as wide as possible and prevent the next move. No blocking nor tackling is successful unless the ball is sent out to the throw in side.
